BUSINESS CHANGE.-It is reported
that Messrs. L. C. Hawley & Co., who
have been extensively engaged in the
grain business in Grant county. are
about to transfer their interests to some
other place. They have sold their
warehouse at Montfort 10 Mr.. Mathews
of that place. Some of their ware
houses are closed. Their Lancaster
business is still carried on by Mr.. Thos.
Orion, who it is said will be likely to
succeed them and carry on the business
for himself The Interstate law is re-
sponsible for the proposed change of
base. The business has been profitable,
but under the new conditions, with
higher freights and railroad fare in
going from place to place as is neces-
sary, it does not promise well for the
future. 1t is to be regretted that the
railroad company cannot make the
transportation satisfactory. The ware
houses will probably all be opened later
by somebody.

An ordinary, everyday common
place, house door has always been con-
sidered fixture. AS part of house
it is real estate. Whatever else may
get lost around the premises, the door
is always expected to be in its place
and to stand as a barrier between the
occupants of the house and night burg
lars, and to shut out the gase of the
curious by day. The wheel-barrow, the
saw-buck. the water bucket or one or
two of the children might get lost, but
the door was always where 1t belonged
and you knew right where to put your
hand on It. There have been instances
known where the key-hole seemed to
wander around over the side of the
house, but the old reliable door stood
firmly in its place.
When George s. johnson, of Burton,
returned to his home on the night of
June 25th he could not find the key-hele.
Worse still, he could not find the door.
Now do not draw q hasty inference
from this statement, The reason why
is because the door was not there. The
doorway stood Hospitality open. The
latch-string was out johnson natu--
ally felt that it was quite q slam on
him.
A good deal of petty thieving had
been going on in the town of Waterloo.
Miss Chafee's residence had been en-
tered and some money and other things
stolen. Butter and farm produce had
mysteriously disappeared from various
spring houses and granaries. Johnson
had his suspicious: He came to Ian
caster and got out a search warrant
which was placed In the hands OF the
Pinkerton of Grant county-Charlie
Bennett. Like Davy Crocket's coon
they ''come down" when Charlie aims
at them. He found the door standing
guard over the threshold of one An
thony Oglesby, in the town Of Waterloo.
1t had taken on new coat OF paint
and swung to the tuneful squeak of a
new set of hinges. Anthony acknowl-
edged the corn and promised to settle
by returning the door and paying costs,
but he changed his mind and when
they looked for him next day he was, if
not an honest man, a non est man.
The impression exists in that locality
that some other matters may hinge
upon that door.
LATER-Oglesby has given himself
up and is now in Jail here.

How an Illinois Preacher Draws
the People to His Church.

Chicago Tribune.
Throughout the country in the

raphy is used in teaching geology

aid to the instructor. The ministers,
many of whom are quick to take adj
vantage OF all legitimate means to I'LL
their churches. have not been slow to
see that there was something IN 1t.
1t was not a very long time ago that
the Rev. c. III. Seaver, OF Jefferson,
ILL.,, was preaching to comparative
ly small congregation. The same
faces were always seen before hum IN
/ the pews, but the attendants were the
brothers and sisters who, everybody
knew, were followers of the Lord. and
for whom the Establishments oil the
world had no delight. The young and
wayward did not come within the
sound of voice, and Mr.. Seaver felt
that he ought TO leave his flock OF
ninety-and- mine and look forthe lamb
that was lost. Through some Tort
innate circumstance he was induced
TO get a camera, and then followed
hours of study and experiment. be

tern, and one Sunday evening the
eoodrpeople were astonished to hear a
sermon on Jonah and the whale, or
some other equally interesting sub
iect, with large pictures thrown upon
a sheet illustrating the address Dur,

sermon by Mr.. Seaver became gen
orally known, and the next Sunday
evening, when the sexton took up the
collection, he saw many new faces ana

Marriage Customs in Southern
Siberia.


There is one thing rarely omitted from
female costume, whichis silver anu.
let hanging on the breast, in the form
OF kernel, cylinder, or triangle, con-
tainirg Muhammadan writing or per-
maps prayers, and given by the hus.
band at time OF marriage. The vari-
GUS circumstances connected with
marriage among the Kirghese remind
one strongly OF patriarchal times.
Fifteen is the manageable age, and
preliminaries are commenced by the
parent OF the bridegroom sending a
deputation OF mathematics to the
parents of the bride, offering presents,
aad among them dish specially pre-.
pared for the occasion OF liver and
mutton fat, which signifies that they
mean matrimony. After this the com.
pliment is returned by presents and
similar dish sent by the girls parents
to those of the bridegroom. The
brides father then summons meeting
OF kinsmen to consider the kalim, or
gross amount to be paid for the bride.
| The kalim may consist of forty, sixty,
or one hundred sheep, or from nine to
! forty-seven head OF cattle. besides
which kalim the bridegroom has to
4 give at least two presents OF camels,
! horses, cows, firearms, or khalats.
These things decided, the brides faith
err sends to the bridegroom's aul for
! the kahn and ona Of the presents, ait
1 er which the bridegroom takes theotheI
present and goes to see the bride for
the first time. Not that he can easily
change his mind when things have
gone thus far, for the delivery OF his
present virtually seals the marriage
contract, and he is so firmly betroth
ed that should he die before the tint
OF marriage the intended wife has tc
20 home TO his parents and be taker
for the wife of the next son. Vice yer
sa il during the period OF betrotha
the girl should die, her parents ar
bound to give instead their mex
daughter, or in default OF one, to re
turn the kahn and pay a fine
When the period Of betrotbal is a
an end the bridegroom goes TO tn
aul of his bride, who is given up b!
her parents, with dowery of tent
camel or riding-horse, cattle, and ,
, brides head-dress, Decides bed
